I wrote a song called "Cowbird" in 2011; I formed "Tom Csatari Band" — a twelve-piece, romping folk-jazz orchestra — in 2012; I recorded my first album "Uncivilized", on which "Cowbird" appears, in 2014.

"Cowbird", as the title might suggest, weaves together different creatures into a single being (word/genus), in classic AABA form. Additionally, the piece is referential to the starkly beautiful, but parasitic bird of the same name. Cowbirds steal eggs and plunder foreign nests. Like the bird, sometimes this piece soars, and sometimes it's a little mean.

I am thrilled to share this song through its namesake storytelling network, which I find extremely elegant and simple!
